Testimonials

What our customers say about us and our wines.

Patrick Schmitt

Editor-in-chief at the drinks business

“If you want a taste of old-vine Grenache at its best, then The Brave should be on your bucket list.”

James Cluer

Fine Vintage Ltd

This [Brave] is a wine of passion, a wine of an individual’s philosophical expression. It is a liquid artform. This wine is extremely unique, multi-layered and an artform in itself.”

Lauren Buzzeo

Wine Enthusiast

“A refreshing sea-breeze aroma partners with the delicate scent of white cherry, melon rind, white currant and rhubarb leaf. The palate is light and ethereal in feel, with bright acidity that refreshes the palate and perfectly complements the tart fruit flavors. Lingering citrusy impressions of orange blossom and lemon balm leave you ready for more. Best Buy [Rosé] ”

James Cluer, MW

Fine Vintage Ltd.

“This [White] is easy drinking, fresh, young and vibrant. The nose is quite complex and lifted which scores well, and the finish is quite persistent and builds in intensity at times. The 60-year-old vines contribute real character.”

Vivino

“Outstanding! Very typical of a South of France GSM but way more elegant than some of its counterparts. A must try, addictive!!”

Vivino

“A bold fruity full bodied red, full of flavour. A perfect combination of new world techniques and classic French wine making styles.”

Vivino

“Another solid wine from Moritz Bak. Notes of vanilla, and cocoa synergize well with the wine’s primary flavors. Very good representation of a southern French blend - will buy again!”
